l IMPROVEMENT IN PlPE-STEMS.

Specification forming part of Letters'Patnt No. 169,349, dated November2, 1875; application filed April 21, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIUs W. FLEISOH- MANN, of Williamsburg, in thecounty of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Pipes; and I do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enableothers skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters ofreference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates particularly to pipestem, but may be adapted towood or other pipes; and the nature of my invention consists in areceptacle of glass or other suitable material attached to themouth-piece of the pipe stem or pipe, and protected by means of anexterior shell, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the annexed drawing, Figure 1 is a central vertical section of mypipe-stem, and Fig. 2 is another section of the same as attached to apipe.

A represents the mouth-piece of a pipe-stem provided with the usualsmoke-passage a. At the lower end of the piece A is attached a glassreceptacle, B, made of glass, rubber, metal, or other suitable material.This receptacle may be attached to the mouth-piece by means of rubberpacking, cork, screw-threads, or other convenient means, and in the sideof the receptacle near the upper end are made one or more holes, or, forthe passage of the smoke to the mouthpiece. The receptacle B issurrounded andprotected by an exterior shell, (3, which forms a part ofthe pipe-stem. At the same time the smokepasses from the lower part ofthe stem through the receptacle to the mouth.

This invention may be adapted to wood or other pipes by attaching it tothe mouth-piece and fitting it into the shank of the pipe, as shown atD, the shank thus forming the exterior shell protecting the receptacle.

The receptacle B collects the nicotine and prevents the same from beingdrawn up into the mouth of the smoker and from entering the bowl of thepipe, dampening the tobacco, and can easily be emptied when necessary.

The advantage of this device over all others is that the various partsare made separate and all detachable; therefore any one or more of theparts can be replaced when broken, or

cleaned when necessary.

Having thus fully described my. invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The stem A and shell 0 attached by screwthread, in combination with thedetachable glass receptacle B having perforation t, all as and for thepurpose herein set forth.

In testimony thatI claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature inpresence of two witnesses.
